Actually, it reminds me of this totally bizarre conversation I had with some chick on the long-dead Fanfix.com boards – she claimed that George Lucas had gotten hold of the Star Wars story through arcane means (i.e., not a pastiche of Kurosawa, Campbell, Buck Rodgers and other such etcetera) and that he also had gotten it all wrong. (Her fanfiction, of course, was right.) She was a known nutcase and probably a troll, but I remain amused.
